FDA Sponge Foam Gasket Supplier

Blaylock offers a variety of closed and open cell sponge materials suitable for food contact. Food grade sponge can be found in cap liners, along container rims, and in other environments where water, air, or other contaminants could spoil the product. FDA materials are also a big player in the food production industry. Gaskets for equipment like conveyors, hoppers, sifters, and packaging machines frequently rely on food-grade sponge materials to seal their processes properly.

An important note: Requests generally ask for “FDA Approved Material”; however, the FDA does not approve products for food contact purposes. The FDA regulates what ingredients are approved within the rubber or plastic product through the Code of Federal Regulations. If all the product's ingredients are on the list, then the product can be certified to meet the appropriate regulations. Below is a list of those regulations and a table listing the products that meet these regulations.
